Last Week in Kansas

Our Kansas adventure started in August of 2008 and now in Febuary we are heading back to Florida. Many things contributed to our coming and leaving, but Brandon and I feel that our home town in Florida is where we are supposed to be. We really realized the importance of family and friends when we moved so far away. God always lets us know what His will is for our lives and he definitely showed us that we belong back at home. This experience has taught us so many things about ourselves and us as a couple. We have been tested with so many challenges and supported each other through everything that has come our way. I am so happy to have someone in my life that I feel like I can turn to when everything else feels like it is falling away. I told him the other night that I was lucky in love...but it is so much more than that. God put us together for a very special reason and I feel like although our feet are not planted firmly anywhere and our pockets might not be very full, that time of blessing will come to us. Now we just need to be assured that God will provide for us, which he always does. Some things have to be sacrificed and I feel like in these last 7 months as a married woman I have learned so much about life and I love every moment of it. I decided to start blogging just to keep people updated on what is going on with the Carters. We will definitely be making some big changes soon and I am excited for what new adventure we will stumble upon. 

Next week on either Monday or Tuesday a moving truck will be coming to pick up all of our furniture and clothing and all of that to take it back to Florida. When we arrived, we didn't have any furniture and we really made this empty apartment our home. We enjoyed getting away from everything for a while and figuring out what we really wanted as a couple. Now we have lots of stuff and will have to wait for a couple months to find a new home. Right now we will be living with Brandon's parents at their house in Vero. His family has the most welcoming spirit and although we will not have our own place for a little while we will feel very at home staying with them. They really are some of the best people I have ever met. They are there for their family through everything and really have shown me a different kind of love than I have ever been around. So for the next week we will be packing and stowing away all of our winter clothes. It is supposed to snow tomorrow and it will be nice to see it snow one more time before we leave. Trying to eat yourself out of house and home is not as easy as you think. You should see our fridge, the food is slowly dwindling away, while some random ingredients remain. What we will make with the leftovers should be interesting! I cannot wait to be home and start the job hunt, although I know it will not be the easiest thing ever, I pray for favor while I am out looking for something fulfilling and something to help us out financially. 

For tonight, I will say peace out...Worst Week comes on in 30 minutes and we love watching that poor guy try and make it through. Love.
